NAME

     CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT - force a new connection to be used

SYNOPSIS

     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode           curl_easy_setopt(CURL            *handle,
     CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, long fresh);

DESCRIPTION

     Pass a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer  use  a  new
     (fresh)  connection  by force instead of trying to re-use an
     existing one.  This option should be used with  caution  and
     only  if  you  understand  what  it does as it may seriously
     impact performance.

     Related functionality is CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3) which makes
     sure  the connection is closed after use so that it won't be
     re-used.

     Set fresh to 0 to have libcurl attempt re-using an  existing
     connection (default behavior).

DEFAULT

     0
